I see. So it’s coded to do that in wordpress and not because of magic quotes.

I used stripslashes to fix it while waiting for a reply. I just wasn’t sure if it was the wptexturize thing, or magic quotes or what that was causing it.

Now I know. ??

Thanks!

You must have two authors. Admin isn’t an “author” so you have to create a dummy user to get the drop down to be visible again. Then you can select the real author.

Seems like a bug to me.

But hey, I’m only a user.

A plugin to the rescue!

Got it solved.
In tiny_mce_config.php, line 44, change the path of the CSS file to the path for your theme style and poof! you have an editor with content that is styled as your site is styled.

pizdin_dim, setting up a second tab in my browser is much faster than waiting on WP “view” to open another tab/window. I just open the page I’m editing in the other tab and set it to reload every 10 seconds. Then when I save my edits in the WP-admin tab, I simply click the other tab and the changes are there already. There isn’t a faster way to preview.

Besides you’re missing the point. A wysiwyg editor is only useful if indeed you see what you get while you’re editing, without going back and forth between tabs and windows.

So it goes without saying then that the site styles need to be reflected in the editor for the sake of working more efficiently if nothing else.

Within the Rich Text Editor one sees a generic style. Not the actual style that is used for the site.

For instance, the style for the text in a site might be sans serif yet the text displayed in the editor is serif.

H1 is huge and jammed together in the editor but as styled in the site, it’s smaller and thus would be easier to work with in the editor. Likewise for tabled data, image alignment etc.

So, it would be ideal if one could see the actual fonts and styling in the editor as they are in the site.

And yes, I am well aware one can scroll down and see a preview. I’ve turned that off and simply preview in the browser in another tab so I can see the real end result as a visitor would see it (in a browser).

So, any notions on how to accomplish this??
